'Crime is basically legal in San Francisco': Furious shopper posts video of horde of shoplifters fleeing Neiman Marcus - totally unchecked - with armfuls of designer bagshttps://video.dailymail.co.uk/preview/mol/2021/07/06/1050006148859381448/636x382_MP4_1050006148859381448.mp4The footage reveals the shoplifters leaving the Union Square store in San Francisco, each carrying bags of stolen items with the security tags still dangling off of them. The perpetrators run in different directions before the person filming focuses on one group speeding away from the scene in a white sedan. One person watching says, 'They can't do anything,' perhaps referring to security at Neiman Marcus. Shoplifting cases are all too common in San Francisco, where charges of property theft less than $950 in value were downgraded from a felony to a misdemeanor in 2014 - meaning that store staff and security do not pursue or stop thieves who have taken anything worth less than $1,000.
